[0032] Working principle:
[0033] 1. Purge and vacuum:
[0034] a. Mode 1:
[0035] Before the system is filled with liquid nitrogen, the entire closed-loop system needs to be purged and vacuumed to avoid the influence of impurities, air and moisture on the pipeline. By connecting 99.999% nitrogen to the purging and vacuuming interface 16, open the ball valve 15, the low-temperature switch valve 35, the low-temperature switch valve 5 30, and the ball valve 22, and close the low-temperature switch valve 14, the low-temperature switch valve 15, the low-temperature regulating valve 23, the low-temperature switch valve 4 29, the electric valve 14, the electric valve 218, and the ball valve 326 for purging. After purging for a period of time, close the ball valve 15 and the ball valve 22, connect the purging and vacuuming interface 23 to the vacuum pump, open the ball valve 22 to vacuum the system, and then close the ball valve 22, disconnect the vacuum pump, and complete the purging and vacuuming of the entire system;
[0036] b. Mode 1:
[0037] If the load device 39 needs to be replaced during system operation, it is only necessary to evacuate and purge the new load device 39 and some connecting pipelines by connecting 99.999% nitrogen to the purge and vacuum interface three 27, closing the low-temperature switch valve five 30, the low-temperature switch valve three 35, and the low-temperature switch valve four 29, and opening the ball valve two 22 and the ball valve three 26 to achieve the purge of the load device 39. After purging for a period of time, close the ball valve three 26 and the ball valve two 22, connect the purge and vacuum interface two 23 to the vacuum pump, open the ball valve two 22 to vacuum the system, and then close the ball valve two 22 and disconnect the vacuum pump to complete the purging and evacuation of the load device 39. When the experiment is over, the load device 39 can also be quickly warmed up in this way.
[0038] 2. System self-check:
[0039] When the system is filled with liquid nitrogen and starts to circulate, first close the low-temperature switch valve three 35 and the low-temperature switch valve five 30, and open the low-temperature regulating valve two 33 to realize the self-circulation of the system in the unit, cool itself first, and ensure the stable self-circulation operation of the system. When the temperature collected by the temperature sensor three 32 meets the requirements, the low-temperature switch valve three 35 and the low-temperature switch valve five 30 will be opened, and the opening of the low-temperature regulating valve two 33 will be reduced to supply cold capacity to the equipment.
[0040] 3. System operation:
[0041] After the supercooled liquid nitrogen in the pipeline is cooled by the heat exchanger 38, it is pumped to the load device 39 by means of the liquid nitrogen circulation pump 12. After the supercooled liquid nitrogen absorbs the heat of the load device 39, it returns to the heat exchanger 38. The supercooled liquid nitrogen basically circulates. In order to ensure the stable operation of the load equipment, it is necessary to ensure that the cooling capacity is balanced with the demand. Therefore, the cooling capacity needs to be adjusted in real time. When the heat load of the load end, that is, the load device 39, changes, the temperature sensor 5 37 will upload the temperature signal to the controller, and the controller will control the pipeline flow in real time. Two ways are designed to adjust the flow of the pipeline:
[0042] The first method is to control the flow of the liquid supply pipeline 45 through the bypass pipeline 44. When the liquid supply flow needs to be reduced, the opening of the low-temperature regulating valve 2 33 can be increased to allow part of the fluid in the liquid supply pipeline 45 to flow directly into the liquid return pipeline 46, thereby reducing the flow of the liquid supply pipeline 45, and vice versa.
[0043] The second method is to adjust the speed of the liquid nitrogen circulation pump 12 by controlling the output frequency of the motor, thereby controlling the flow in the pipeline, which can effectively reduce the temperature fluctuation of the working environment of the load device 39 and ensure its normal operation;
[0044] The pressure of the supercooled liquid nitrogen circulation pipeline is maintained above 2 bar, and the buffer tank 43 is used for pressure stabilization and liquid replenishment. The buffer tank 43 is connected to the circulation pipeline to achieve liquid replenishment to ensure that the pipeline is always full of supercooled liquid nitrogen; the buffer tank 43 is designed to stabilize the pressure in two ways:
[0045] The first method is to heat the liquid nitrogen through the low-temperature heating resistor 13, so that the liquid nitrogen itself vaporizes to increase the pressure in the buffer tank 43 and thus pressurize it; the second method is to introduce helium through the helium inlet 3. The boiling point of helium is very low, and it will always be a gas in the liquid nitrogen temperature zone. It is used to quickly pressurize the liquid nitrogen. By opening the electric valve 1 4, the system can be pressurized. The helium can also be discharged through the helium exhaust port 17 to achieve decompression. Open the electric valve 2 18 to discharge excess helium.
[0046] When the buffer tank level gauge 42 of the buffer tank 43 detects that the liquid level is lower than the set value, the controller will open the low-temperature switch valve 14 to replenish the liquid until the liquid level is higher than the safety value; if the pressure sensor 16 detects that the pressure of the circulation pipeline is too high, since the buffer tank 43 is connected to the circulation pipeline, the value of the pressure sensor 16 is the same as the pressure value of the circulation pipeline, and the low-temperature switch valve 15 can be opened to discharge nitrogen into the Dewar tank 40 and finally discharged from the tank body; the above method can be combined to quickly control the pressure of the liquid in the closed supercooled liquid nitrogen circulation pipeline to maintain the pressure in the pipeline stable;
[0047] When the Dewar tank liquid level gauge 1 of the Dewar tank 40 detects that the liquid level is lower than the set value, the low temperature regulating valve 11 is opened to replenish the liquid, and the replenishing temperature is measured by the temperature sensor. The filter 10 filters the injected liquid nitrogen, and the heat exchanger 38 is completely immersed in the liquid nitrogen of the Dewar tank 40, ensuring a good heat exchange effect.
[0048] The vaporized liquid nitrogen is heated by the nitrogen discharge heater 20 and then discharged. The nitrogen discharge heater 20 automatically adjusts the heating power according to the temperature collected by the temperature sensor at the outlet. When the outlet temperature is lower than the set value, the control system will increase the heating power to increase the discharge nitrogen temperature, and vice versa.
[0049] When the system needs to be warmed up, the liquid nitrogen in the circulation pipeline needs to be discharged by opening the low-temperature switch valve four 29, closing the low-temperature regulating valve two 33 and the low-temperature switch valve five 30, and using the liquid nitrogen circulation pump 12 to transport the liquid nitrogen to the Dewar tank 40, and then gasify and discharge it, and then open the ball valve one 5, the ball valve two 22, and the ball valve three 26, so that the residual liquid nitrogen in the pipeline can be discharged more quickly.
[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents.
